Stephen Jay Rothenberg

I had to find a dentist because I had a bad toothache. But I'm very afraid of dentists. After hours of researching on line and calling several offices for information, I decided to go with Rothenberg/TLC Dental because they were the nicest on the phone. The hygienist went over my medical history and took x-rays. She talked to me about things I could do to stay healthier. I didn't know my diabetes was contributing to my oral condition and that my poor dental health was making my diabetes worse. Dr. Rothenberg examined my teeth and compassionately explained my options. I told him that I don't go to the dentist because of pain and also fear of the cost. He said that my health is more important than the cost and that his office would find a way to help me pay for it. Another person came in and went over the cost with me. She explained a promotional offer from a healthcare credit card company that would allow me to pay over time with no interest. She carefully explained that I must make my payments on time or the Care Credit Company would charge me interest. I have had two appointments so far and I cant get over how nice they are to me. The Doctor is so gentle that I feel a bit embarrassed that I was so afraid. But he said, "Don't worry about that. A lot of people feel that way. But once they allow themselves to get started, they realize they unnecessarily had over-rated anxiety". He's actually a pretty funny guy. I don't want him to quit his day job, but he could also be a great stand up comedian. He makes me laugh so much that I almost enjoy going to the dentist. His front office team are understanding of me circumstance and even gave me an additional discount. I highly recommend this office. It's the one with the giant tooth mailbox.
